Splash Pad Renovation
Exciting updates are coming to the splash pad this summer! New amenities will be installed, along with a fresh coat of paint to enhance the space. These improvements will bring even more fun and refreshing ways for the community to cool off and play all season long. The splash pad will be temporarily closed for approximately 3–5 days during construction (dates TBD). We appreciate your patience as we make these upgrades!
